The content in frames cannot be linked properly: it's either a link to the 
home page or a link to the content frame itself (without the top and side 
frames), so frames are awful for sharing stuff. In any case, most web 
content is now database-generated on the fly so frames are no longer useful 
(and css and div is the norm rather than bleeding edge today).
